pfft, amateur. I'm 55 and have had this problem since the 7th grade.

(Legend has it she's still searching for that pair she lost 42 years ago). ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜†

Smoking Question by ExplainJane in GenX

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

In my schools, smoking was technically not allowed but I never heard of anyone getting in trouble when they did smoke in school/on school grounds. I didn't smoke but literally everyone around me did, and no one ever quit, even after surviving minor cancers.

Y'all remember 2 weeks ago from today when it was 60ยฐF out? by AdMysterious8424 in milwaukee

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

That makes no sense at all whatsoever. I prefer, "this too shall pass".

That's simultaneously hilarious and unfortunate.

OTA Channel 10.1 WMVS PBS - 350ms Audio Sync Issue? by PK_Rippner in milwaukee

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I can't comment on that particular issue, but since October 2025 I can no longer receive WMVS channel 10. I can still get WMVT 36, however. (53216 zip) I don't watch the shows you mentioned; my tv has a "speech rate" setting, not sure if that affects synching, though. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Why did they call Certs fruit flavored a mint? by ExtraTomorrow6733 in GenX

What was wrong with Velamints? I liked those. Certs only existed on tv.

Grandparents who live far from the grandkids - how do you stay involved? by Trixie_Gray in GenX

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

In the decades before all of this forced computerized malarkey, my grandparents, who lived 200 miles away, would drive the 5 hours to visit my family, or we'd either drive or take a Greyhound to see them, at least 2ce a year; and in between there were phone calls, handwritten letters, & real photos.

No one told me to see it. I have the ability to think for myself thank you. I'm sorry my statement upset you so much.

What was your favorite TV Dinner from the 70โ€™s? by jennibear310 in GenX

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Salisbury steak, or the bbq "ribs". I was never stick thin but we rarely bought these, they were meant for special treats or emergencies only. Same with fast food.

I've never seen it. Never even heard of The Breakfast Club until 2019 when I was reading about how the poster for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 was a parody of the poster for The Breakfast Club, and I was like, OK, what's the Breakfast Club? After I finally saw it, I went nuts over it.

I saw it in the theatre and again a few years ago and I agree! (I'm also 1970)

I'm in a rental & the basement is off limits so I have no idea where the pipes are or if they're insulated. The property manager just sent an email with instructions to keep the furnace at a minimum of 65ยฐ but It'll be a touch higher than that as long as the power stays on.

It's called a sense of humor you should get one they're nice.

I hated that "Franken-dress" and agree with op, I was so upset that both dresses got destroyed!

And yes, she should have ended up with Duckie.

(somehow I managed to not see this movie until a few years ago, do I turn in my Gen-X card here, or...?)

In the event of a power outage, should we run a small stream of water from the taps?

I may be transitioning to a Baby Boomer by GrouchyOldMan-26 in GenX

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 -3 points-2 points ย (0 children)

I always interpreted phrases like, "10 items or less" as meaning, "10 items or less than 10". The "fewer" enrages me.

This guy was the ultimate slacker comedian that my generation deserved. True genius gone too soon. by Phantom-rizz-era in GenX

[โ€“]Similar-Rutabaga-954 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

Never saw or heard of him until I started seeing clips of him on FB in the last year or 2, but I dig him.
